Fear not, fellow Illini fan, for I, your friendly neighborhood know-it-all (or at least know-a-lot-about-watching-basketball), am here to guide you through the glorious world of televised (or streamed) hoops.

Cable Cutter? No Worries! Stream It Like You Mean It
Let's face it, cable packages are a labyrinth these days. But fret not, cord-cutters! There are a bunch of streaming services that'll have you cheering on the Illini in no time. ESPN+ is a great option, but be sure to check the schedule beforehand to make sure tonight's game is included. FuboTV or Hulu + Live TV might be your jam if you want a wider channel selection (and don't mind a little extra moolah).
Pro Tip: Feeling fancy? Some bars and restaurants might be showing the game, so grab your crew and turn it into a social event (plus, who doesn't love those giant mozzarella sticks?).
